Ep. 68: Why I'm Leaving Mental Health

4/10/2019

I have worked as a counselor for the last 10 years. Recently, I decided to begin a transition out of mental health. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes within the industry, and today, I am lifting the veil on a few of the reasons why I feel compelled to make this shift in my life.

We’ll Discuss:

How I ended up in mental health to begin with
The business of mental health in the Black community
Lack of cultural education amongst non-POC therapists

I just found you through the recent Black Women Stitch podcast. Your podcasts are EXCELLENT. Very on point. I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse, within two years of retirement. Asked to teach after retirement, my response: HELL NO!---this decision is largely due to many of the things you mentioned in the podcast. Thankfully, I have figured out (mostly) what my next move will be post retirement and that is curating creative experiences in my studio and maker space. I have been in the space for a year now, and it's been a challenge working full time AND running a business. But, I'm up for the challenge! Well, let me circle back to my opening comment---YOU ARE PHENOMENAL. I have several women I am forwarding your podcast series. Keep up the good work!

Best,
Francene Greene
